What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a material breach of the Intellectual Property License occurs if Learningrx engages in any activity that damages the Marks or the goodwill of the System. The Intellectual Property License is granted to Learningrx by its parent company, LearningRx, Inc., for a one-year period, commencing June 23, 2011, with automatic renewal for subsequent one-year periods.
For a prospective Learningrx franchisee, this means that the continued ability of Learningrx to franchise the system depends on it upholding the Intellectual Property License. If Learningrx, Inc. determines that Learningrx has damaged the trademarks or goodwill, it could terminate the license.
This could have significant implications for franchisees, as Learningrx's right to use the intellectual property is essential for operating the franchise. If Learningrx loses its license, franchisees could be affected. It is important for potential franchisees to understand the terms of the Intellectual Property License and the potential consequences of a material breach by Learningrx.
